## Task Tags

In this section, you can specify a list of keywords that act as markers for tasks inside comments in your Perl code, i.e. tags that mark the beginning of a task entry.

By default, the words `TODO` and `TASK` mark the beginning of a task.

Check the Ignore Case option if you want EPIC to recognize task tags case-insensitively, e.g. `# todo my task`.

If you select Allow whitespace, task tags do not need to follow a comment sign (`#`) directly, e.g. `# TODO my task` instead of having to write `#TODO my task`.

See the section called “Task Markers” to see how to use Task Tags in the Perl Editor.
